Looking for info on a '66
I'm looking at a pretty good '66 project. He says its a "camper special" with the stock 327 cu. I thought all the V8s were 283 back then. Does he know what he is talking about? slim

Re: Looking for info on a '66
The camper specials had 327's. I think that was the first year for it and they also had TH400 auto trans if it has an automatic. The Camper Special is also a 3/4 ton. Might even have power drum brakes. I am guessing it does since you had to stop the extra weight of a camper.

Re: Looking for info on a '66
Ok. Dum question. Don't know much about these. The 327 still a small block, just more stroke, or more bore?

Re: Looking for info on a '66
A small block Chevy is everything from a 262 to a 400. Just different bores and strokes. A 283 has a 3.875" bore and a 3" stroke. A 327 has a 4" bore and a 3.250" stroke. A 327 will produce more HP and TQ than a 283. The first year for the 327 in the light duty trucks was 1966.
